Prep Time: 1-2 Hours - Cook Time: 12-15 Minute

Ingredients

Pizza dough/crust, homemade or store-bought

2 tsp Oil

2 Pheasant Breast

Kosher Salt, to taste

Quarter of Red Onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup(s) BBQ Sauce

1/4 cup(s) Marinara Sauce

10 oz Fresh Mozzarelle Cheese, sliced

4-5 Green Onions, white and light green parts chopped

1/4 cup(s) Fresh Cilantro, chopped

Red Pepper Flakes, to taste

Instructions

Step #1 - Lightly sprinkle salt on pheasant and coat with about 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce.

Step #2 - Prepare the grill for medium heat cooking. Then cook pheasant breasts for about 5 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. Do not overcook. Slice the pheasant into small pieces. Set aside.

Step #3 - Heat oil in a skillet and sweat red onion until softened and slightly caramelized, about 7 minutes. Set aside.

Step #4 - Preheat oven to 450Â° Fahrenheit, or 500Â° if your oven will go that high. Set pizza stone or cookie sheet onto the middle rack and let it warm up at least 10 minutes after the oven comes to temperature. To make the pizza sauce, combine 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce and 1/4 cup of marinara sauce. Flatten pizza dough on a lightly floured cutting board or pizza peeler to avoid sticking. Then spread the pizza sauce mixture onto the dough.

Step #5 - Top the pizza with sliced mozzarella cheese, pheasant, sautéed red onion and green onion. Slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or cookie sheet in a preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust turns golden brown and crispy to your preference. Remove pizza from the oven. Garnish with chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes. Cut into desired size pieces and serve immediately.
